Preface

Optical and microwave waveguides have attracted much research interest in both science and industry. The number of applications for their use is rapidly growing. This book presents a collection of recent advances in the broad field of waveguide technology. It covers the current progress and latest breakthroughs in emergent

The book includes ten contributions on recent developments in waveguide technologies including theory, simulation, and fabrication of novel waveguide concepts.

The editor Patrick Steglich provides a brief overview of important developments in the field of waveguide technologies in photonics and microwave engineering as well

Ran Gao and JianSen Ye provide a review on optical fiber sensors based on antiresonant reflecting optical waveguides, including the single layer, double layers,

Helena Cristina Vasconcelos focuses on developing coatings for use as waveguides for integrated optics and photonics. Here, the waveguides are based on sol-gel

Hedi Sakli and Wyssem Fathallah present an extension of the rigorous analysis of the propagation of electromagnetic waves in transverse magnetic (TM) and transverse electric (TE) modes in a metallic circular waveguide partially filled with

Shotaro Ishino, Satoshi Denno, Narumi Yashiro, and Seiichi Suzuki report on the development of a waveguide-type leaky-wave antenna and the development of a

Vladimir Schejbal, Ondrej Fiser, and Vadim Zavodny investigate the radio-wave propagation above irregular ground, including the troposphere, using physical

Ting Ting Gu, Hong Lei Xu, and Kai Li illustrate the disturbing nature during sunrise and sunset for Very Low Frequency (VLF) waves with periodic variations in
